Welcome to Norfolk Southern's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 14, 2024 (See location pages for ceremony and wreath placement details), Norfolk Southern will be helping to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying veteran’s wreaths on the graves of our country's military members.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring veteran’s wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
You may sponsor one of many locations by doing the following:
- Select "Sponsor Wreaths."
- Select "Location to Support." There is a drop-down menu on the right of "Marietta National Cemetery."
- Scroll through the list to select your location of choice.
- If a participating cemetery you would like to support is not listed, scroll to the bottom of the list and select "choose another cemetery to support." You will enter that cemetery name, and your sponsorship will count towards our goal.
- We encourage you to record your sponsorship by uploading your receipt to the Thoroughbred Giving Portal (http://thoroughbredgiving.nscorp.com/) for a 2:1 donation match from the Norfolk Southern Foundation.
To Volunteer:
- Select "Volunteer."
- Select a location to volunteer. If the cemetery is not listed, select "Lookup by Cemetery Name" OR " Lookup by City or Postal Code."
- Complete Registration.
Thank you so much for supporting Norfolk Southern and Wreaths Across America!
